Hi i'm creating a small perl program in order to get the html source from pages in order to check them. i wrote this:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "cookies.txt", autosave => 1));
#$ua->agent("Mozilla 5.0");
$url=" site address";
$v1="2014-03-02";
$v2="2014-03-03";
$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url, $checkin => $v1, $checkout => $v2);
$req->header('Accept' => 'text/html');
$res = $ua->request($req);
if ($res->is_success)
{
$filename="dati_html_test.txt";
open MYFILE, ">:utf8", $filename;
print MYFILE $res->decoded_content; # or whatever
close (MYFILE);
}
else
{
print "Error: " . $res->status_line . "\n";
}


The problem i have are those:
1) it seems that the website thinks that i'm a bot: i'm unable to set a proprer user agent
2) it seems that the url parameters are not understood by the webserver because it always answer me with a html page like i didn't submit any parameter.
any help?
